WE’RE  THERE!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!

Thank you so much for your generosity and support in making Bruno, our Wood Fired Kiln, a reality.  Work has been completed and our first firing was in August, 2016.  Please refer to the donation chart below to see the benefits of each donation level.  Also, checkout the other Bruno Posts.

Our hope is to raise the last $4600 towards building “Bruno” which will cost about $20,000.

The project involves a 20′ x 20′ concrete pad, kiln shed, and a cone 10 Bourry Box Wood Kiln.

The kiln is being named “Bruno” after Bruno LaVerdiere who donated the hard and soft brick, metal frame and car & track from his sculpture kiln.  (About Bruno Laverdiere)
